One of the trumpet master's final studio recordings, this session showcases his unrivaled harmonic inventiveness and wide-interval leaping style. 'Imagination' pairs Shaw with a formidable quintet, breathing fiery, complex post-bop life into a selection of classic standards and rich original compositions. The album serves as a poignant testament to his enduring brilliance in modern jazz.
